Wishing all Indians a very Happy Republic Day... 60 years and we sure have come a long way! Let’s all hope for growth and prosperity in the coming years. Republic day is celebrated as the day when our constitution came into force in the year 1950 and so, in the true sense marks the birth of a democratic and political India.I am not going to get into further details on the subject but I do want to share a nice piece of remembrance with you... Today also marked the launch of “Phir mile sur”, the newer version of "Mile sur" which was released on 15th Aug 1988... I was instantly flooded with lots and lots of memories and am sure all of you would feel nostalgic as well... I grew up with that song and like every other Indian, I too know it by-heart... The song has now been re-done and features 22 superstars, 18 musicians, 13 artistes & singers and 15 other known personalities including AR Rahman, Sivamani, Aman & Ayan, Anuksha Sharma Bhupen Hazarika, Aamir Khan, Amitabh bachchan, the list is loooooooooooooong!
Though I must admit I have a fondness towards the old version just for a simple fact that it is more dignified and brings back childhood memories; nevertheless the newer one portrays the new generation.
Here are both versions of the song... hats off to each and every person who made this!!!
Old is gold
While the New is bold!!!
Don’t miss on Sivamani and AR Rahman's bit... and the one featuring Salman Khan as well.. It is different!!!
However the sportspersons' and the army personnel bits seemed like they were added at the last moment in haste... Not too sure what were Shahid, Deepika, Priyanka and Ranbir doing in there?? No industrialists and politicians as well... India is not just movies & bollywood; there is a lot to it... This album is about coming-together of people from different walks of life and I would have loved to see a genuine mix of all... Anyways, it is a good effort and we must applaud everyone who has worked on this!!!
A true heart-warming tribute in a very Indian way... Jai Hind!
